CARDINAL GIBBONS places before the
vatican formal argument In favor of
the liberation by the church of the order
Of the Knights Of Labor, and in this po-
sitiOn he is sustained by the American
bishops almost without exception. AS
Cardinal Taschereau, now in Rome with
Cardinal Gibbons, takes the opposite
view OF the case and threatens exCom.
munication. the whole subject will very
likely get thorough sitting at papal
headquarters and some final conclusion
be reached concerning this much-vexed
matter. 1t is worthy OF mote that the Cath
Ollie clergy in America in this matter, and
the Catholic clergy in Ireland in rela-
tiOn to English landlord expressions,
both side with the people, and take the
part Of the laboring classes in their
struggle against the expressions and ex-
actions and iDjustices ofthose who bear
industrial rule over them. This fact
should not be lost sight of by Protest
ants, who are SO ready to declaim
against the power and authority Of the
Catholic church; nor, this other fact,
that the Catholic church is lending all
the weight Of her vast influence to the
suppression Of intemperanoe by, preach
ing total abstinence and maintaining
within her own pale scores and hun.
dreds Of these voluntary association.

GALVESTON makes up her budget for
the present fiscal year and places her
expenditures at $685. 3O7. In ding this
she cuts down her police fund below last
years expenditures $500, and raises
her street and alley fund $4,000 above
last year. In doing this latter Galveston
devises wisely. Street Improvements
and needed measures Of sanitation are
the things Of all others that Texas cities
should grow liberal in making expendit-
ures for. The total appropriation for
streets and alleys in Galveston this year
is S64 GOO, an amount considerably in ex-
cess Of that spent by San Antonio last
year. The budget" is based upon a

ents to her; and the remembrance
that he was an exile in foreign land,
relying on the bounty of strangers for
his daily bread, while she and her hus-
band were invested with the regal in
heritance OF which he had been de-
prived, pressed upon her the thought
of the contrast of her conduct as
daughter when compared with the FL
ial piety of the child before her, whom
a sentence OF hers was about to rem
der an orphan. 1t smote upon her

A large quantity Of lime juice has
been exported from Trinidad in recent
years. The simple juice finds market
in America, and the condensed juice
in England. A tree yields on an av-
erage abous ten gallons Of juice. Tho
lines are allowed to drop off, and
then passed first through the cutter,
which rips them open, and next
through rollers and press to sepa-
rate them. These cutters, rollers and
press are constructed in very primi-
tive way, and admit OF great inn
provement. The juice is then export
ed as it is, or condensed by boiling. A
barrel OF lines yields seven gallons of
juice. The cost OF producing lime,
including packages, should not exceed
sixpence per gallon. The essential oil
of lines is extracted from the rind be-
fore crushing by grating on rasps with
the hands. The oil thus extracted is
called handmade oil. Ahundred gal
Ions Of juice will yield by distillation
about three quarts Of the essential
oil.

There is a great illumination all night
as the sun passes around the earth

any artifciallight. The first morning,
DIR. Baird awoke to see the sun shining
In his room. He looked at his watch
and found it was only 3 o'clock. The
next time he awoke 1T was 3 O'Clock
but there were no persons in the street.

and my notion of the literary student

are all literature, in so far as they
teach us to know man and know
human nature This is what makes
literature, rightly sifted and Sc
selected and rightly studied, not the
mere elegant trifing that is so often
and enormously supposed, but
proper instrument for systematic
training OF the imagination and sym
pathies, and OF q genial and veried
